Ahmed was born in Somalia and lived most of his first seven years in a refugee camp in Kenya called Dengahaley at Dadaab. This is where Ahmed learned to love the feeling he got from playing soccer with friends. In 2005 his family moved to the US and soon settled in Lewiston and later Portland, ME. Being a good student, Ahmed was encouraged to apply to Waynflete where he was accepted and is now entering into his senior year, still playing soccer with a passion while learning about the power education can play in a person's life.
